Trousers Which Come High.
From the U1nshinoton Star

from Che " dSRttytO1 SLuf.
Secretary Lamar is now wearing trousers of a
rather peculiar color. One pair has purplish
tinge and the other is blue The Secretary re-
CARDS them as great additions to his wardrobe
and calls the attention OF his friends to the eX-
ccllence of the material and the fact that they
are entirely made by hand They are manufac-
tured in Louisiana by people who raise their
own cotton, color and weave il into cloth, just
as they did many years ago They never wear
out, and while the color might not suit some,
yet the fact that the cloth costs 81 SO per yard
ought to be sufficient TO make it ut once fash
ionabe. The Secretary without saying
anything about the price is in the habit of tell
ing bis friends that he can order them a SUIT of
this cloth or part Of a suit. As a rule they
say that they would be very glad if he would
take the trouble to Go so. Commissioner Black
was so enthusiastic over the stuff, as shown in
the shapely pants worn by the Secretary, that
he at once said that he must have a suit and
while they were about it they might as well
order two suits for his children. The Secretary
suggested that as the cloth cost 81 so per yard
some cash would be acceptable; otherwise there
might be some delay while the Secretary was
accumulating the money needed to pay for
three suits. The Commissioner thought that. in
view of the price, the Secretary need not send
the order for the suits for the present.

Science end Food end Drink.

La some directions it is q question whether
science Is accomplishing I.lore good than
harm. Nobody will deny that it has accom-
plishel great deal of good Considering
/ how much it has added to the convcnienceS
and comforts of life, it is difficult to under
stand how the people of primitive ages man
aged to live as well as they did. But science
has also added much to the Inconvenience
and disconforts of life. For instance, our
ancectors of 100 years ago we're not driven
almost to the point of starvation by scien-
tiac revelations regarding the injurious CT
fects of the food they ate and the liquids
| they drank. They did not refuse to eat
bread made of flour for fear Of plaster of
arts authorizations, nor did they boil the
water and the milk they drank Neither
did they swallow nauseous
drug after every meal in ordc" to counter
act the impurities of their food At the
present, however, if science is to be be-
lieved, people risk their lives every time
they eat or drink, unless they first-or
afterward-take the precautions which sci
ence prescribes.
Perhaps the alleged discoveries with ref
erence to the hurtful influence of certain ar
ticles of food and drink which have long
been in use are the result of the multiplicity
of doctors. Tho doctors must live, and
every fresh discovery of the nature men
toned increases their opportunities for
making visits and prescriptions.
Seriously, people are too much given to
taking medicine. In every household may
be found almost sufficient quantity of
drugs TO kill or cure regiment. 1t would
be well for the present generation to throw
physic to tho dogs and return to the ways of
the forcfathers. Let the habits of life be
simple and regular, avoid intoxicants and
the hundreds of fancy drinks that are sold,
and eat food known to be healthful and
which is well cooked. Don't turn night
into day. and be careful not to work
eighteen hours out of the twenty-four. If
this advice be followed there will be fewer
dyspeptics, and the alleged discoveries of
science regarding food and drink will cease
to be terrifying.

Tho Finance Committees Bills

The Finance Committee, of which Repre-
sentative Gordon, Of this county, is chair
man, has worked very faithfully since the
beginning of the adjourned session, and, rs
result, has presented to the House bills
relating to the States financial affairs
which cannot fail to command the approval
of the Legislature. There is no ADLER men,
Der of the Legislature than Mr.. Gordon,
and certainly 10 ono better, if SO wen, fitted
to handle tho States finances
The States bonded indebtedness
amounts to S. 784 500 1t falls due as fol-
lows: 81, 14l GOO, Jan. /, $780, $2,00S coo;
Oct /, 1890; s307, 800, July /, 1892; S5l2, coo,
July l, 1896; S8,3o2 900, July l, 1915. The
constitution requires that sinking fund
shall be provided for the payment of the
above amounts, and the Finance Committee
has introduced bills FOR that purpose. There
is also $254C00 OF fifty-year University
bonds for which the State is liable but no
sinking fund is required for their payment.
Tho Finance Committee has reported two
bills-one TO raise 100000 in 1857, and the
same amount III 1888 as q sinking fund,
GO he applied TO the payment of bonds
which become due in lSS9-and the other
authorizing the issuance of bonds to raise
money TO pay the bonds falling due
in 1889 not liquidatcd by the sinking fund.
Tho bill also provides for a permanent sink
ing fund of SlOO,OO year, and for apply
ing the proceeds of the sale of the Western
and Atlantic road to the payment of the
State debt if the road is sold.
The bills are framed with great care and
will doubtless accomplish the object for
which they are intended

The Judges of the Supreme Court are now IN
different parts of the country Chief Justice
Waite is in Ohio. When he was attending the
Findlay gas well celebration. q pickpocket

forced vacation, which he is enjoying at Block
Island, where he generally spends the summer,
or at least so much of il as members OF this
hard working court are allowed for rest. JUS
tice Gray is in New England but is compelled
10 make occasional trips to Washington TO

In the Last Ditch.
From the Ner YORK Graphic de

From tbe NeW YORK. Ora pho (DeDl)
The friends of protective tariff in this
country seem to be in the last ditch The com
mon sense of the people has repudiated the fall
lacies upon which their system is based; the nc
ceSsities Of the government no longer demand
the large revenue which justified the imposition
OF heavy duties on inportS-the public demand
ton. The combat between the protectionsts
and the revenue reformer5 has been fierce and
protracted, but little by little the cause Of the
people has advanced, and its opponents have
been forced from what they deemed impreg-
nable positions. Lately they heve been driven
to resort to the most desperate tactics to pre-
vent immediate defeat.

The Galveston NetUs makes the following
argument against prohibition: "The Pro-
hibitioaists say that the people of Texas pay
S50,0OO,0OO year for liquors. This sum is
a dead loss to the people, and the people
would be So, 0O0,000 a year richer if liquor
were prohibited. So far SO good, but why
not save the people round 100000, 900 u
year and at the same time rid the land of
dogs and hydrophoba' Texas doubtless
contains 2,500,000 dogs. These dogs CON
sumo the substance of the poor man, make
havoc among the sheep, howl and suck eggs
They make night hidcous, interrupt re
ligious devotions and torment tho sick and
nervous. II the government must take
charge of the people and control their pri-
vate affairs, why not prohibit dogs" If
the NctoS will advocate a constitutional
amendment prohibiting dogs, it may sue
coed in having it adopted Without whisky
and dogs Texas would have a boom com
pared to which the booms of other States
would be mere boomlcts.

Blessings Brighten, Etc.

when the wind is in the east
'Tis neither good for man nor BEAST
Thus there runs runic rhyme
Writ in Mother Goose's time.
And the world as gospel truth
Takes this legend Of their youth;
All their simple faith is pinned
TO this libel on the wind
When it blows so sharp and chill
Then catarrhal curses fill
All the air, and dismal means
Go up from rheumatic bones.
But in days of dust and drought,
When the wind is in the south,
Writhing in the cruel clutch
OF the summers torrid touch,
Fighting with the fierce simeon,
Then you feel 'twOuld be boon
Just to sniff the very least
Bit of breath from out the east.
When old Sol pours in hot shot,
Till you cannot find O spot
That is not as warm aS-well,
What the parsons now call sheol
Frying in your fat you cry,
Gracious Providence, o why
Do we cooling breezeS lacky
Send, o send, the east wind back"
